Thanks. It's super clean. The owner is having a new cover and cockpit carpet made for me (didn't have it when he bought it).
This may be the last one for a while. Dealing with banks these days is enough to give a man an ulcer! Still need to close the loan (hopefully Thursday). Should be delivered by the weekend.
Now to go truck shopping....

This is a great deal - it makes me sick to know what my 342 is worth...
$48K
Really good condition 342 with U shaped seating. That is a lot of room.

I don't figure repo prices into current values. These kind of deals are about gone from the market and based on money owed not market values.
Market will come back. Just not as quick as it fell.

I'm just throwing it out there - its a good deal.
I personally think it will sell for less. This boat was in S FL craigslist by the owner for $52K then the repo guy must have got it. Its been sitting there for a while - for $48K its a great deal with a great engine package. I think its a really clean boat too.
The ladies love U shape seating.... its where they dance. Whenever we go to the Miami boat show I lust over the Outerlimits and Sunsations and Hustlers but Christine says, "our boat has more room".... She doesnt like bench seat in the high dollar boats. I disagree with her - Id rather have the Outerlimits Superleggra personally and not give a crap about cockpit space.

Those repos on that site sometimes go for less. than "suggested price". That's just a ballpark they would like to send to the bank. A lot sell for less than what they're advertised at. Obviously depends on the bank and what they need to get out of it.

The owner keeps that in a friend's shop there but he's close by. Really nice guy. He may be lurking around the forums here somewhere.

I haven't updated this thread because it's been a long process between scheduling time to see boats, financing, sweet talking the wife...
I figured I'd stick with what I know. Ended up getting a 1999 Baja 342. Haven't gotten it yet. Hopefully by the end of the week. Going through CG documentation process now (bank required it). 502s with 132 hours, generator, all the bells and whistles. Really nice shape.
Only thing that scared me off from a PQ was availibility of support, parts, stuff like that. I love the looks.
